Pulling back the curtain on issuer processor innovation

We’ve been quiet for too long. It’s a busy time in the payments space. Marqeta and our customers are at the heart of it. We’ve been chomping at the bit reveal what’s going on at Marqeta and open a dialogue about the payments industry. We’re pulling back the curtain to share some stories and perspectives with you about our incredible focus, the brilliant people behind the technology, our hottest features, and what we’re seeing in the market.
Why now?
To start, Marqeta has never been so hyper-focused, so disciplined, so efficient, and so spot-on about what the market is demanding. We returned from our 1st annual All Company Retreat aligned with a new concentration on five core solutions: delivery services, lending, disbursements, expense management, and virtual cards. They are still, and always will be, available via an open API. Each of these solutions is made up of sophisticated controls and developer-friendly configurations designed for on-demand services companies, alternative lenders, as well as those looking for payouts for 1099 workers in the gig economy, flexible expense management, e-commerce enablement, and scalable, secure virtual card transactions. In future posts, we’ll share our thoughts about how these markets are evolving. At Marqeta.com you can read about our solutions more in-depth and see case studies from a handful of our customers who are doing amazing things with Marqeta’s platform.
We are honored to be working with some of the smartest, most innovative, and best-known companies in the world to solve their payments challenges. Whether payments is their core business or supports their core business, the Marqeta platform’s open APIs are able to accelerate the pace of innovation and keep business up and running even when all else fails. In future posts, we’ll tell you more about what we’ve been able to do with our customers and what it’s like to work with us at Marqeta.
We’ll also tell you about some breakout new features developed in parallel with our new solutions that are true game changers. Keep an eye out for Just-in-Time “JIT” Funding and Commando Mode, among others.
The financial services industry is long overdue for a revolution. Fintech is charging forward at a lightning fast pace. We’re here to tell you what we’re seeing, to pull back the curtain, and take you along for the ride.
